What Does It Take To Become An
MLM Diamond?
The diamond level is the topmost level of a multilevel marketing
network. In MLM, as a leader keeps growing the network, which
happens by bringing more reps to join the network, the leader gets
promoted to various levels. The terms may be different depending
on the policies of the company, but usually a leader will grow
through silver, gold, platinum and then diamond levels. It is any MLM leader's ardent desire to become a diamond because of
several reasons. The commissions and bonuses are the highest, they
will have become successful in their MLM campaigns and they will get
a reputation that is close to reverence within the MLM community.
Most MLM diamond level leaders also become internationally famous
due to which they can make income through other avenues such as
speaking, conducting seminars, writing books, etc.
- 7 -
Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
But, of course, becoming a diamond is not a cakewalk. The journey
to the top requires the MLM leaders to go all out with their
promotional methods and bring as many people into the fray as
possible. They have to learn or devise MLM strategies that work and
prospect with all their heart and soul. There are lots of teething
problems in someone's MLM career and rejection is one of the most
rampant of these. MLM leaders have to learn to overcome these
problems to come to the top.
It is said that in the MLM business, it is not the business itself that
counts, but it is the people who are working with the business. This is
definitely true because, after all, MLM is a people networking game.
The leader has to be charismatic and has to inspire other people. That
is the reason most MLM top leaders are excellent motivators and
personality development coaches too. This is a business that improves
people as well as brings in money.
Hard work definitely is needed, because prospecting is not an easy
game, whether it is over the Internet or in the real world. At the same
time, innovating and strategizing are extremely important too. The
MLM leader must be humble with each prospect he or she meets, even
if they already have a thousand people already in their downline.
All said, one of the most important traits that an MLM leader must
have to become a diamond is compassion. He or she must know that
everyone is working hard and as a leader, they must inspire their
downlines to work harder, even go all out to cooperate with them in
their prospecting. After all, if the downlines grow, the leader will be
promoted upward in the chain. This is one of the most unique
features of MLM – here one does not get promoted by stepping on
subordinates; instead it is the downlines who grow and push the
leader upward.

Mike Dillard: Biography
Mike Dillard is one of the topmost multilevel marketers in the world
today. He is widely known as the author of the book Magnetic
Sponsoring, which speaks about the concept of 'people attract
people'. He is also the author of MLM Traffic Formula, a book that tells
people about how to implement technical methods to hone their
marketing campaign over the Internet. The MLM Traffic Formula,
which is written for amateur as well as expert network marketers
alike, speaks in detail about methods such as search engine
optimization, lead generation and various Internet marketing
methods.
The one unique aspect about Mike Dillard is that he has an MLM
prospecting company of his own. This company, Dillard Inc., organizes
his complete network marketing campaign. The company provides a
feature called as the Contact Management where they prospect people
with appointments and reminders, systemizing the whole campaign.
The company also provides incentives for people who bring in other
people into the network. These ideas are Mike Dillard's creations, each
one of which has become a kind of lesson for other marketers to plan
their networking strategies.
- 9 -
Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
Mike Dillard began his company with just 35 reps to its name, which
was considered to be an unwise move by many because the number
was too small to start a company. However, Mike Dillard had his MLM
head screwed firmly in its place and he did not entertain the criticism
he got from others around him. His obstinacy did bear fruit. He
implemented his own methods and within a few months the number of
reps with Dillard Inc. increased from a measly 35 to a very
commendable 500. Dillard kept on inspiring and motivating his
members to achieve greater glories. In the year when he got 500 reps
to join him, he made sales accounting for more than half a million
dollars.
Dillard's controversial approaches to MLM strategies have always been
much talked about. He was one of the first persons to introduce the
concept of funded proposals in MLM, something that was almost
unheard of. Here the company paid people so that they would agree to
be prospected. The incentive brought them a great number of
prospects, more than any online or offline method could, and in a very
short time that too. With the rock-solid plan that the company had, a
large number of these prospects did not mind joining the company as
reps.
Today, Mike Dillard focuses greatly on his ever-growing company
and also enjoys his role as a multilevel marketing consultant. People
who approach him benefit with the new ideas he devises and
implements, almost always reaching success in the process.

Mike Dillard: Success Methods
People within the MLM world cannot ignore the name of Mike Dillard
who is considered to be one of the leading MLM innovators and
planners of the world. He is best known to the world as the author of
the book Magnetic Sponsoring, which had turned the old MLM
concept on its face and brought some refreshing new ideas into this
marketing world. The basic idea of the book, which is now highly
synonymous with Mike Dillard's name itself, is that people attract
people. Dillard has brought home the idea in the book that when a
person joins a network, it is not the business that he or she is
looking at, it is the leader that creates the greatest impression. For
that reason, the concept of 'people attract people' applies here. This
is what magnetic sponsoring is all about.
Mike Dillard has spent a major part of his life explaining how it is not
the business but the people in the business that matter. With the
book, he has made is lucidly clear to the world that it really is so. The
book, a 40-page manual actually, is a step-by-step description of how
someone can go ahead and become a magnetic
- 11 -
Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
sponsor, which is something that has the real potential of bringing
people into the network. His company Dillard Inc. has become one of the top MLM networks in
the world. This is a unique aspect about his MLM prospecting too.
Most multilevel marketers go and individually solicit people to join
their networks; Mike Dillard does it with a complete company to help
him in the game. Here, one of the flashes of Dillard's innovative game
plan can be seen. When a marketer has a company, people are
definitely going to put more trust into going along with their business. Though network marketing is his forte and his game, Mike Dillard has
seldom played by the rules. He attributes his success to that fact. He
mentions in his books that a marketer has to constantly innovate so
that he or she can keep above the competition. The other reason for
the innovation is that prospects have to see something new in order to
begin trusting in the marketer. This is something that he has used
quite often. Mike Dillard has introduced several new concepts in the world of
Internet marketing, all of which have met with a lot of acceptance
and their share of controversy too. Apart from magnetic sponsoring,
he is also the brainchild of a similar concept called as attraction
marketing.

Daegan Smith: Biography
At 26, Daegan Smith is one of the youngest MLM millionaires in the
world today. He can give stiff competition to any multilevel marketing
guru with the kind of experience and knowledge he has gained and
implemented in his own approach. One of the things that have
pushed Daegan Smith to the top of the race is his never-say-die
attitude and his penchant for always reinventing his strategies.
One of the things that Daegan Smith is the most talked about for is
his unique network marketing strategy. He maintains that he has
earned his thousands of prospects (nearing 4,000) without calling up a
single lead. He has never used the dubious and annoying method of
cold calling prospects and this has been his special forte. In fact, the
MLM world calls Daegan Smith the King of Never Having to Call a
Single Lead.
- 13 -
Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
Daegan Smith's methods are different and even controversial. At a
time when the multilevel marketing world is still hooked to methods
such as cold calling and seminars, Daegan Smith uses new and
advanced methods of prospecting such as conducting webinars. His
webinars have always been well-received and looked upon
expectantly. Hundreds of multilevel marketers from across the world
log on to his webinars and continue discussing them for weeks on end.
There are many methods that Daegan Smith adopts in his online
network marketing practices, including lead generation and promoting
products through sales pages. His sales pages have attracted attention
because there is always something new that is sold through them.
Just recently, his sales page promoting The True MLM Wealth Online
CD became a hot favorite among MLM fans. This program tells people
of Smith's methods of prospecting clients to induce them to join the
network, in a way that it always bears results. Smith has his own huge
networks to show people that his methods work.
Another of his products is the Power Prospecting System. Here too, as
in other products, he shows how multilevel marketers can bring a large
volume of traffic to their business opportunity without ever having to
call them.
Daegan Smith is a favorite for MLM professionals because of the vast
amount of free information he has provided on the Internet. A lot of
his articles are present on his blog and on other places on the Internet
such as http://www.postarticle.net/Author/5910/Daegan-Smith.html.
Even his products are very competitively priced, making MLM secrets
available to a lot of people who desire to learn from them and
implement them to their own needs.
- 14 -
Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
Daegan Smith: Success Methods
Every popular multilevel marketer has their own method that has
brought them to the top pedestal of the networking game. For Daegan
Smith, it is his humility that has led him here. Daegan Smith is one of
the multilevel marketing world's youngest diamonds, but still his
approach is a down-to-earth one, one that wants to teach other
people how to get into the game as well. That explains the hundreds
of articles that Daegan Smith has written and posted for free on the
Internet. These are proving to be a source of education for people
who wish to get into the MLM game.
But there is a lesson to be learnt here. Even these articles that Smith
has made freely available on the Internet are part of a whole
campaign. They are inducing readers to join Smith's business because
they are assured that he is an expert in the field and will lead them
the right way. Article marketing is one strategy that all MLM leaders
must adopt.
Daegan Smith is also an avid blogger. His blog is constantly updated
with information and thus ranks highly. With bookmarking and "Tell a
Friend" features on his blog, Smith has made sure that the number of
targeted leads he gets increases. This is an important arm of his
marketing ploy.
However, Daegan Smith promotes himself as The King of Never
Having to Call a Single Lead. His method is different from that of most
marketers, because here is
- 15 -
Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
a concerted effort never to call a lead that is not interested. Instead,
he makes sure that interested leads come to him through his lead
generation techniques. This is what brings more people into the
network rather than blindly chasing a list. One more points about Daegan Smith is that he knows that his
idea works for MLM and thus he markets that too, thus building up
a healthy flow of residual income. His sales page selling his concept
is available at http://www.daegansmith.com/ where he sells the
course for a very low sum of $37. This has enabled more people to
buy his product, creating a win-win situation for him as well as the
buyers of his MLM strategies. Looking at Daegan Smith's methods, the lesson learnt is that
traditional methods such as cold calling a list of leads has no real
results. Since these leads may not be interested in the idea at all, it is
usually a wasted exercise. Instead, tapping the resources of the
Internet can make more sense for increasing the network and also
make some residual income on the side.

Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
Dexter Yager: Biography
Dexter Yager is almost revered in the multilevel marketing world. He is
one of the people who contributed their time and effort to make
Amway what it is. Being associated with the most exalted MLM
enterprise in the world and that too being one of its oldest and most
experienced leaders, Dexter Yager is certainly a very important
person. With his equally popular wife, Birdie Yager, Dexter Yager has
consolidated the position of the multilevel marketing world as it
appears today.
A wonderful tale often reiterated by MLM leaders when they find
themselves down in the dumps relates to how Dexter Yager started
out as a truck driver for a little-known battery company and has
today become the greatest Amway distributor in the world. His band
of distributors has created sales of more than $2 billion for Amway,
selling its various products. This achievement has been heralded as
one of the greatest MLM achievements till date.
He stays in Charlotte with his wife Birdie Yager. The strangest point
about the Dexter Yager story is that people in his hometown do not
know the Yagers much. This is a clear indication of how Yager has
tapped the global market, not remaining restricted within his local
- 17 -
Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
area. However, he has invested heavily in real estate, both
in noncommercial assets and residential apartments.
Dexter Yager is 55 years old now; he joined Amway 31 years ago,
making him one of the oldest persons with the company. He was
always at a policy of conflict with other Amway leaders, most notable
Richard DeVos, who once held Yager guilty for stealing and
distributing one of his speeches according to an Amway insider rumor.
However, since Yager was a distributor at that time for DeVos, the
matter was amicably solved. Yager has also stepped on several
Amway toes because of his unconventional methods and some people
have wanted him out of Amway, but because his distribution line was
one of the biggest with Amway, he has persisted.
But Yager has not restricted his brazen attitude to only his Amway
coworkers. In a very famous speech made to his Amway downline, he
criticized President Bill Clinton's inaugural address as nothing more
than a pagan ritual.
Yager has teamed up with DeVos to make Gospel Films, a production
concern that specializes in making Christian based movies and
books. These products have gone a long way in reinforcing the
popular concept that Amway is a cult. For whatever his approach
might have been, Dexter Yager is undoubtedly one of the most
celebrated MLM leaders in the world today.
- 18 -
Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
Dexter Yager: Success Methods
Without a doubt, Dexter Yager is one of the living legends of
multilevel marketing. With a downline that brings in a sale of $2
billion annually, there is definitely no denying this statement. He is
one of the key people who have given Amway its brand name, global
identity and business. He has played a very important role in shaping
Amway to be what it is today.
When Dexter Yager started out with Amway, 31 years ago, the
Internet had not arrived in the world yet. Those were the times when
people went all out, literally, to promote MLM networks. Yager did
much of the same. He was and still is an effective speaker and, more
importantly, an inspirer. People who come in contact with him cannot
resist being touched in some way or the other. This is what proved to
be the biggest advantage to Dexter Yager's business plans. His
charisma was clearly apparent to his prospects, who went with
whatever he said.
To add to it, Yager kept consolidating his expert position through
many ways. He has gone the whole hog when it comes to MLM
promotion. He has written books, released tapes, given seminars,
spoken at conferences, traveled across the world, inspired his
downlines with incentives, held them with a tight rein when needed
and giving them the liberty when needed… he has done it all. Most
importantly, he has told his downline time and again that people
attract people and if the network has to succeed, they have to develop
the potential in themselves to bring in other people to the network.
For most people in Amway, Yager has been a kind of rebel. One of
his policies has been to downgrade retail sales and concentrate on
building the network itself. This was not acceptable to the head
honchos of Amway in those times. The common idea was that sales
bring in direct profits; building networks could take a long time
materializing. Though he was branded as a heretic by some,
- 19 -
Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
Yager persisted in his human-building approach. And that has
actually paid off, because Amway has a very strong network around
the world today and this is actually what is bringing them the sales.
If they had concentrated only on direct selling back then, Amway
could have fizzled out like most MLMs of those times.
It is difficult to emulate someone like Dexter Yager, but certainly his
methods could be inspirational and even motivational to people who
are planning to get into MLM. Learning more about his strategies is
like an open course on the subject. At the end of the day, there is definitely something we all can
learn from ‘old school’ network marketing… if Dexter can do it, so
can we.

locations, guiding people on his methods and strategies and also
bringing them into his own fold.
When he was still in his fledgling days, Jerry Clark started his company
named Club Rhino, Inc. He is one of the few persons who carry on
MLM prospecting in an organized manner through his company. The
- 21 -
Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
company is behind booking the various events such as seminars for
personal and professional motivation and guidance all over the globe.
Jerry Clark is a versatile speaker; he can speak authoritatively on a
number of subjects. His favorite topics have been improving

profiting from home business opportunities and, of course, multilevel
marketing.
Apart from Club Rhino, Inc., of which he is the CEO and President,

Jerry Clark: Success Methods
One of the youngest to become a millionaire among the leading MLM
leaders today, it is very interesting to see what has made Jerry Clark
the success that he is today. This humble Texan has come a long way
since he earned his first million when he was barely 20. Since then, he
has organized his strategies several times over, made a company to
promote his campaign – Club Rhino, Inc. – written a cartload of books and made audio manuals about MLM,
spoken across the world about MLM, given advice to new entrants and
MLM gurus alike and generally gone from strength to strength. It is
interesting to check out his methods because this is one guy who has
tried it all – online and offline methods both – and diverted the
strategies to build success for him. And that has paid off richly.
The first thing that Jerry Clark went about getting was information.
He educated himself profoundly on every aspect of multilevel
marketing and when he was doing so, he always asked himself the
question, "How will I be able to use this method in my own
campaign? Will it work for me?" This analytical attitude has definitely
helped him much because he has been able to innovate and custom
design some existing plans so that they could better suit his
purposes.
Like most other popular multilevel marketers of the world today,
Jerry Clark has also held the belief that it is personality development
that works in the long run. People who are going to join an MLM
network do so more because of the trust and confidence that they
develop in the person that promotes the idea to them.
- 23 -
Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
Most of these people are completely unaware of what the business is
about and just go ahead with the leader. Knowing that, Jerry Clark
has always maintained the belief that for an MLM enterprise to
succeed, the improvement has to begin from the leadership level. This
is what will induce downlines to work better. Clark has spoken a lot
about personality development and motivation, both of which he holds
as important ingredients of a successful multilevel marketing
campaign. Implementing Clark's ideas could certainly be a step in the right
direction if you have an MLM venture. Personal development is an
important aspect in any walk of life. It makes people confident and
this confidence rubs off on the prospects, making them see the whole
opportunity in a brand new light.

Richard Quek: Biography
Richard Quek is a diamond multilevel marketer from Subang Jaya,
Selangor, Malaysia. He is connected with the Internet marketing of
4Life Research, which is available at http://www.4Life2U.com. He has
been active in the multilevel marketing world for over ten years now.
He lives with his wife, Nancy Ong, and has three children named
Daniel, Nicholas and Hannah.
By profession and qualification, he is a chartered accountant who had
an accounting practice of his own. When he smelled the opportunity in
MLM, he quit his accounting firm. This was in 2000, when MLM was
coming out very strongly on the Internet. In his decade-long tryst with
network marketing, Richard Quek has used several conventional
marketing methods, evolved a practice of his own and perfected the
method which he now trains amateur network marketers with. He has
written over ten paperback books and eBooks about the networking
game, most of which have become bestsellers.
Quek was introduced to network marketing when he was working
with a similar online program that trained people in hosting and site
- 25 -
Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
building. His two-year long association with this program gave him a
lot of knowledge of the field and piqued his interest to follow it
fulltime. His unique blend of MLM uses his innate knowledge of
marketing blended with the Internet marketing experience that he
has had.
Richard Quek has dabbled with other fields apart from multilevel
marketing. Because of his background, he is also an active Internet
marketer. He is also keenly interested in motivation. Among his
favorite and most inspiring books, he lists Think and Grow Rich! by
Napoleon Hill and See You at the Top by Zig Ziglar and Al Mayton.
Among his prominent Internet marketing ventures, the following
have been the most successful:-
Zooming To Success (http://www.zoomingtosuccess.com), a program
that trains people to learn how they can most effectively use Internet
marketing tools so that they can use the best marketing practices
and some of the same that are used by Internet gurus from around
the world. This program is a huge Internet success. Quek has
marketed the program extensively through joint venturing, bringing
more than 50 joint venture partners into the fray.
He has also prepared and marketed a home study course for
Internet marketing called as the TIMM eSeminar
(http://www.TIMMeSeminar.com) where he emphasized the
importance of list building practices to newbie Internet marketers.
TIMM eSeminar stood for The Internet Money Making eSeminar.
- 26 -
Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
He has also authored and promoted JV Secrets, a book (available as
paperback as well as an eBook) that speaks about the importance
of joint venturing with other marketers and how to go about it.
- 27 -
Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
Richard Quek: Success Methods
Richard Quek has used some conventional and some not-so
conventional methods for his MLM practices. He started with email
marketing and even used bulk mailing software applications. He built
an opt in list and provided autoresponder features to track the
responses automatically. When email marketing started drawing flak, he switched over to
other practice that would prevent his emails from being directed into
spam. He used a desktop application so that his emails wouldn't land
in spam folders. However, he had to change this method also
because he found out that the average Internet user is not so savvy
so as to download and use desktop applications. However, Quek still uses newsletters that he uploads to the desktop
applications. He notifies people by email and makes sure that his
newsletters are of good quality. He has used spam filters in the past
and still uses them to ensure that his emails do not land in spam
folders. He uses Ezinecheck.com to make sure of that.
- 28 -
Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
One of the main reasons why Richard Quek became a big name on
the Internet was because he collaborated with other marketers on the
Internet who were into the same kind of activity as him. He
collaborated with them through joint venturing. He has even written a
book about joint venturing titled JV Secrets where he stresses on this
important online marketing area. Some of his joint venture friends
include Sean Wu, David Cavanagh, Mike Filsaime, Jay Conrad
Levinson, Michael Lee, Ewen Chia, Brian Garvin and others, about 50
in all.
It has taken Richard Quek all of a decade to come in the unshakeable
position that he is in today, but all he has been doing in these ten
years is growing from strength to strength. Today he has reached a
diamond place in the MLM world, an almost invincible position, and
he can carry on even without actively promoting his campaigns.
There is a moral to be learnt here – MLM success comes through
diligent activity. And through partnering! That is something Richard
Quek has wholeheartedly believed in and implemented in his
practices.
Another thing about Quek that must be observed is his fallback
approach. He has always kept options option. He has not gone only
into MLM; he has also educated himself with basic Internet marketing
skills and carved a niche for himself there too. At the same time, he is
also passionate about motivation, another area that has tremendous
business potential.
Today, with more than ten paperback and electronic books, Richard
Quek has consolidated his position as a multilevel and Internet
marketer several times over. He enjoys what he is doing and enjoys
the fruits of the same – something that should be the attitude of
every multilevel marketer.

Randy Gage: Biography
Randy Gage, a school dropout who now owns a Corvette, a Viper
GTS, a custom built Viper SRT and a Bentley Continental GT, is one of
the biggest rags-to-riches stories in the MLM world. MLM gurus speak
about Randy Gage when their downlines begin to feel frustrated about
what they are doing. Listening to Gage's exploits in multilevel
marketing and how he transformed from being a dishwasher to
becoming the Millionaire Messiah is one of the favorite pep talks that
MLM sponsors give whenever the chips begin to get down.
The reason for the nickname is Randy Gage's ardent belief that no
person in this world is meant to remain poor. Everyone has a right to
wealth just as they have a right to air, water and food. It is only that
people do not yet know the means to get wealth because it is not as
freely available as the other three necessities. Randy Gage's methods
have always been to coach people on how they can get at this wealth.
Randy Gage has been active in multilevel marketing since his
early days as a dishwasher. He was interested in home-based
business opportunities but like most people he did not think that
these were
- 35 -
Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
'get-rich-easy' schemes. He put his own methods to test and
withstood the test, which is what raked in the millions in times to
come. One of his constant endeavors has been to set financial goals,
achieve them and then set a higher financial goal. Among other
things, this has been a reason for his success. He also implemented
techniques so that he could earn permanent residual incomes which
have been instrumental in taking him a long way.
One of the most prominent businesses Randy Gage has been
connected with is Agel Enterprises. Agel Enterprises markets a
suspension gel based vitamin supplement line. Gage saw the potential
in this supplement and got into business. This line is marketed only
through MLM and Gage was already an expert at the same. He joined
an already existing team of MLM leaders and began promoting the
network. Today, Agel's multivitamin line has not only brought Gage
the proverbial pots of gold but they have also given him a great
physique which he is proud of flaunting with his fleet of cars.
Randy Gage's success story is the stuff MLM folklore is made up of.
With his several books and CDs on the Internet, he is quite visible
everywhere on the Internet. This Millionaire Messiah provides
inspiration to multilevel marketers continuously through both
example and precept.

Randy Gage: Success Methods
The most prominent business that Randy Gage is currently involved in
is Agel. Agel Enterprises has a breakthrough product that is a vitamin-
based health supplement. This product is not marketed through any
other method except through multilevel marketing. Gage, who has a
20-year experience with multilevel marketing, took his time to search
an opportunity that he would be convinced in as well as could promote
effectively to people from around the world. When he discovered Agel
MLM, he realized that this was the opportunity he would like to pursue.
He joined a team of promoters to bring Agel out into the open and has
succeeded beautifully at that.
Agel MLM is just breaking out into the US and Randy Gage is
keeping himself busy in recruiting new people to join the
opportunity. He has several sales pages on the Internet promoting
the business and inviting MLM leaders who could carry the mantle
forward. This Millionaire Messiah believes in the power of team
strength to build teams.
However, Agel has happened now. Randy Gage earned his popularity
much before that. He has been dynamic on the Internet promoting
himself through CDs, eBooks, courses, newsletters and the like. His
newsletter, Randy's Rants, has earned him a lot of opt ins, which he has
religiously pursued through email marketing and other methods. He has
written resources on self help, personal development, Internet
marketing, business building and network marketing. All of these

project his heartfelt feeling that everyone has the right to earn
wealth; it is the means that they have to discover.
Another unique feature about Randy Gage's self-promotion is that he
makes himself available for speaking at rallies and seminars. This
becomes a win-win situation. The businesses benefit greatly from
Gage's dynamic talks that reek of authority and experience and Gage
gets the exposure in a new set of clientele. He is available for booking
for talks through Prime Concepts Group, Inc.
There are many hues to Randy Gage's personality and that is what has
shaped him to be what he is. Emulating him is a definite option for
amateur marketers, but just blindly following the way someone went
is not what it should be. Instead, lessons can be learnt from his
activities. It is interesting to see how Gage never let anything frighten
him – he broke new ground with each promotional campaign – be it
lead capturing or talk seminars – and let them mature till they began
to pay off. Such perseverance and experimental approach goes a long
way in raising the levels for MLM professionals.
